Niles Essanay SilentFilmMuseum<p>Here&#39;s a fun bit of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MovieHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MovieHistory</span></a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RailroadHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RailroadHistory</span></a>: In the opening scene of the Our Gang short, Pigskin Palooka, Alfalfa arrives home by train. This scene was filmed at Palms Station, in <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CulverCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CulverCity</span></a>, just a few blocks from the Hal Roach studio, on the line from downtown LA to Santa Monica.<br />Since this was such a convenient location, it was used in a couple of other Hal Roach productions, including <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LaurelAndHardy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaurelAndHardy</span></a>&#39;s Berth Marks.<br />The station still exists, but has been moved to Heritage Square, an open-air museum in Los Angeles.<br />Decades later, a modern Palms station was built on the same site (more or less), for the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LAMTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LAMTA</span></a>&#39;s Expo light rail line.</p>
14mission<p>Hollywood!</p><p>It was tricky to get a good shot of the Chinese Theater because there&#39;s a big façade of the Roman Colosseum out front for Gladiator II.</p><p>The shots in the subway station were long exposures but not long enough. They were underexposed and I&#39;ve compensated in scanning, but have still lost some detail.</p><p>The angles are low because I didn&#39;t have a tripod, I just put the camera on a little wooden box I carry in my camera bag, and that on the floor.</p><p>The Hollywood &amp; Vine station really is pretty amazing.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmisnotdead" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>filmisnotdead</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/filmphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>filmphotography</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bnw</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/blackandwhite" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>blackandwhite</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/mediumformat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mediumformat</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ShittyCamaraChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ShittyCamaraChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120film" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>120film</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/kodakbrownie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kodakbrownie</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LAMTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LAMTA</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Hollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hollywood</span></a></p>
